Dr. Borgcon, leading French doctor, ha> new treatment for consump ion.
 lie .ives an enema of cafbonic acid sul,'huretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas carrying the former into every part of the throat and lungs.
 This treatment, too, is directed at eftects--the cause remains undistur bed.
 What this caus eis has been stated by perhaps tine highest pulmonary authority in the world, |. C., the Brompton Hos. ptal for Consumptives, in London, Eng.
 This malady every year carries off from one-scventh to one-fifth of the entire population of England!
 Dr. Payne, MD, M.R.C.P., London, is authority for this statement
 The same or a greater proportion oi deaths obtains in America.
 Dr. Payne also says that one-half the total number of deaths from all other causes have seeds of this disease in the system which only require some irritant to develop!
 Dr. HermarA~Brehmer, an eminent, German authority, says that consump- ton is caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood.
 These authorities cannot be disputed. The medical orll recognizes them The uric acid is the irri,ant m he blood that causes the development of the seeds which Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
 Every particle of blood which passes through the lungs and heart, also goes through the kidneys, and if they are in tLe lra,t deianged they cannot rid the blood of it's killing polson. The thousand little lIairlike sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get blocked up and diseased; anu when they do, they corrupt instead or purifying the blood. Kidney disease may exist, and yet no pain occur in that organ, because it is deficient in nerves of sensation.
 Dip your finger in acid every day and it soUn testers and is destroyed, send acid poisoned b!ooi through the lungs every secOud, and they soon give way.
 The brompton Hospital investigation showed that 52 per cent. of the victims ot consumption were afflicted with de- ran.ed Kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poison 10 remain in the blood and irritate the lungs. This uric acid is al- ways fighting every vital organ, and if there be any inherent weakness in the lun-s iS inevitably causes pneumonia, cough and cun' unIption.
 The real cause of pulmonary troubles teiny 50 authoritatiyely shown to be faulty even thou-h uEsuspectcd action of tiie kidneys, explains why, in order to master the drt aded consum ton, one must rii the blood oi lhe urc acid irri- tant which inhames and burns up the lung substance. For this purpose there is nothing equal 10 that great specific, Warmers sale cure. This remedy has now the favor of medical men all over the world purely on Iis merits. We have no doubt that il the kidneys are kept in natural acton, consumption and great many other diseases, caused by uric acid, wsli not only be cured but will be pre- vented.
 When the kidney is healthy, TO aibu- men apl eGs in the water, but albumen h foLnd in ,he water of more than half ot those who die of consumption!
 This, then, is the condition of things tat always precedes consum ption: tirst, Weakened kidneys; second, re- iained uric acid, poisoning the blood; third, the development of disease in the lungs by the ilriIant acids passing through them, Tlien there is a little cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow matter IS spit up, followed by loss of tesh and stiength, with dreadful night sweats; and when the patient goes to his school physician for help, he is put on cod-liver oil which his stomach, weak ened also by uric acid in the blood, can. not digest. Because there is no pain present in the kidneys, the patient does not think they are affected. but the kid. ley acid IS doing it's work every minute, every Lour, day and night, and by-and-by tho disease of the lungs has advanced until pus is developed, then come hemor- rhages, and at last the glassy stare which denotes that the end is near!
 A post-mortem examInation of such cases shows that the terrible uric acid has completely destroyed the substance of the lung.
 It is impossible to cure lung disease when the blood is poisoned with uric
